In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following description of related technologies of the embodiments of the present application should be interpreted as a description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and not as a limitation to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

(1) Measurement interval

In order to better realize mobility switching, the network device may configure the terminal device to measure a reference signal of a target neighboring cell in a specific time window, where the target neighboring cell may be a same-frequency neighboring cell, a different-frequency neighboring cell, or a different-network neighboring cell. As an example, the measurement of the reference signal may be a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), or a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ), or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR). The specific time window is called a measurement interval.

The NR system is mainly studied by considering two Frequency bands (FR), namely FR1 and FR2, wherein the Frequency ranges corresponding to FR1 and FR2 are shown in the following table 1, and FR1 is also called sub 6GHz band, and FR2 is also called millimeter wave band. The frequency ranges corresponding to FR1 and FR2 are not limited to the frequency ranges shown in table 1, and may be adjusted.

Frequency band	Frequency range
FR1	450MHz–6GHz
FR2	24.25GHz–52.6GHz

TABLE 1

Depending on whether the terminal device supports the capability of FR1 and FR2 to operate independently, there are two types of gap for the measurement interval, one is the user equipment granularity measurement interval (per UE gap) and the other is the frequency band granularity measurement interval (per FR gap), and further, per FR gap is further divided into per FR1 gap and per FR2 gap. Wherein, the per UE gap is also called gapNE, the per FR1 gap is also called gapFR1, and the per FR2 gap is also called gapFR2. At the same time, the terminal device introduces a capability indication, called dependenctgapconfig, for the network device to determine whether a measurement interval of the per FR type can be configured for the terminal device, e.g. per FR1 gap, per FR2 gap, or not, supporting independent operation of FR1 and FR2. Specifically, if the capability indication is used to instruct the terminal device to support independent operations of FR1 and FR2, the network device can configure a measurement interval of the per FR type; if the capability indication is used to indicate that the terminal device does not support independent operations of FR1 and FR2, the network device cannot configure the measurement interval of the per FR type, and can only configure the measurement interval of the per UE type (i.e. per UE gap) to the terminal device.

The description of the per FR1gap, the per FR2 gap, and the per UE gap follows.

per FR1gap (i.e. gapFR 1): measurement intervals belonging to the per FR1gap type are only suitable for FR1 measurement. The per FR1gap and the per UE gap do not support simultaneous configuration.

In evolved universal radio access (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access, E-UTRA) and NR dual connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, EN-DC) modes, a Master Node (MN) is of a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system, a Secondary Node (SN) is of an NR system, and only the MN can configure a per FR1gap.

per FR2 gap (i.e. gapFR 2): measurement intervals belonging to the per FR2 gap type are only suitable for FR2 measurement. The per FR2 gap and the per UE gap do not support simultaneous configuration. The per FR2 gap and the per FR1gap support simultaneous configuration.

If the terminal device supports the capability of independent operation of FR1 and FR2 (i.e. independent gap capability), the terminal device may perform independent measurements for FR1 and FR2, and the terminal device may be configured with a measurement interval of the per FR gap type, for example a measurement interval of the per FR1gap type, a measurement interval of the per FR2 gap type.

per UE gap (gapUE): the measurement interval belonging to the per UE gap type is suitable for measurement of all frequency bands (including FR1 and FR 2).

In EN-DC mode, MN is LTE system, SN is NR system, only MN can configure per UE gap. If the per UE gap is configured, then the per FR gap (e.g., per FR1 gap, per FR2 gap) cannot be reconfigured.

During the duration of the per UE gap type measurement interval, the terminal device is not allowed to transmit any data nor is it expected to adjust the receivers of the primary and secondary carriers.

(2) Measurement configuration

The network device configures measurement configuration (i.e., measConfig) through radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) dedicated signaling, and as shown in table 2 below, the MeasConfig includes measurement interval configuration and measurement object configuration, where the measurement interval configuration is measGapConfig, and the measurement object configuration is measObjectToAddModList.

TABLE 2

Further, the contents of measGapConfig in table 2 are shown with reference to the following table 3, wherein the configuration information of one measurement interval is: measurement interval offset (i.e., gapOffset), measurement interval repetition period (Measurement Gap Repetition Period, MGRP), duration of measurement interval (Measurement Gap Length, MGL). Wherein the measurement interval offset is used to determine the start point of the measurement interval.

TABLE 3 Table 3

The type of one measurement interval may be per UE gap, or per FR1 gap, or per FR2 gap. Referring to table 4 below, the pattern of measurement intervals (simply referred to as interval pattern) supports 24 kinds, and MGRP and/or MGL corresponding to different interval patterns are different. Some spacing patterns were used for FR1 measurements, corresponding to per FR1 gap; some spacing pattern was used for FR2 measurements, corresponding to per FR2 gap.

Spacing pattern identification	MGL(ms)	MGRP(ms)
0	6	40
1	6	80
2	3	40
3	3	80
4	6	20
5	6	160
6	4	20
7	4	40
8	4	80
9	4	160
10	3	20
11	3	160
12	5.5	20
13	5.5	40
14	5.5	80
15	5.5	160
16	3.5	20
17	3.5	40
18	3.5	80
19	3.5	160
20	1.5	20
21	1.5	40
22	1.5	80
23	1.5	160

TABLE 4 Table 4

In addition to the 24 interval patterns shown in table 4, other interval patterns may be introduced, for example, interval patterns for measuring positioning reference signals (Positioning Reference Signal, PRS), and two interval patterns, which are identified as 24 and 25, are given for measuring PRS with reference to table 5 below.

Spacing pattern identification	MGL(ms)	MGRP(ms)
24	10	80
25	20	160

TABLE 5

Further, the contents of measObjectToAddModList in table 2 are shown in table 6 below, wherein the configuration information of a measurement object may be configured with a synchronization block measurement timing configuration (SS/PBCH block measurement timing configuration, SMTC) associated with the measurement object, the configuration of SMTC may support a period of {5,10,20,40,80,160} ms (ms), and window lengths of {1,2,3,4,5} ms, and a time offset (time offset) of SMTC is strongly related to the period, and has values of {0, …, period-1, }. Since carrier frequencies are no longer contained in the measurement objects, SMTC can be configured independently per measurement object (Measurement Object, MO) instead of per frequency bin.

TABLE 6

Referring to table 7 below, for co-channel measurements of RRC connected state, 1 frequency layer may be configured with 2 SMTCs (SMTC and SMTC 2) that have the same time offset but different periods. For RRC connected inter-frequency measurements, only 1 SMTC is configured. As can be seen SMTC2 only supports configuration for on-channel measurements. Note that SMTC2 has a shorter period than SMTC; the time offset of SMTC2 may follow SMTC.

TABLE 7

When only 1 measurement interval is configured in a common period (common period), since SMTCs can be configured independently for each MO instead of each frequency point, this results in that 1 measurement interval often cannot cover a time window of a plurality of SMTCs or multiple reference signals, where a plurality of SMTCs may belong to different MOs or belong to the same MO (case of the same frequency), if measurement in a time window of a plurality of SMTCs is to be performed or measurement of multiple reference signals is to be performed, a long measurement time is required, resulting in lower measurement efficiency of the terminal device.

In order to solve the problem of low measurement efficiency of the terminal device, a plurality of measurement intervals may be configured for the terminal device to perform measurement, where the plurality of measurement intervals may be referred to as coexistence measurement intervals, that is, the terminal device supports measurement on the plurality of measurement intervals, and the plurality of measurement intervals may also be referred to as a plurality of sets of measurement intervals, where each measurement interval corresponds to a parameter of a set of measurement intervals. However, since other data scheduling is not allowed in the measurement interval, as the number of configured measurement intervals increases, data transmission efficiency may be reduced, transmission may be interrupted, and throughput may be affected. The following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are provided for this purpose.

The following describes in detail, through embodiments, a technical solution of measurement and measurement configuration provided by the embodiments of the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of the measurement method, the method shown in fig. 2 may be applied to the communication system described above, and the terminal device and the network device that perform the method may be the terminal device 120 and the network device 110 shown in fig. 1, respectively, but are not limited to fig. 1. One measurement method shown in fig. 2 includes the following:

s201: the network device sends first information to the terminal device, wherein the first information indicates parameters of at least two groups of coexistence measurement intervals;

the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals may be understood as at least two sets of measurement intervals configured by the network device for the terminal device, where the terminal device supports measurement on the at least two sets of measurement intervals; the parameters of the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals are related parameters corresponding to the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals.

The parameters of the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals may be configured by the network device to the terminal device, e.g. by RRC configuration. Optionally, the parameters of each set of measurement intervals include at least one of:

Measuring the gap length (Measurement Gap Length, MGL);

a measurement interval repetition period (Measurement Gap Repetition Period, MGRP);

interval offset (Gapoffset);

measuring an interval pattern index (MG pattern ID);

measuring objects (Measurement Object, MO).

In an embodiment of the present application, a schematic diagram of each of at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals is shown in fig. 3, and each set of measurement intervals may include a plurality of periodic interval occasions (gap occalations). The period of the interval time is the period of the measurement interval, that is, the length of the interval time is the MGL, and the offset of the starting position of the interval time in each MGRP from the starting position of the MGRP is gapffset.

S202: and after the terminal equipment receives the first information, measuring according to the second information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the relationship between the first information received by the terminal device and the measurement limiting condition includes the following two types:

the first relationship is: the first information satisfies a measurement constraint.

In case the first information satisfies the measurement constraint condition, the second information includes the first information, i.e., the terminal device performs measurement according to the first information in S202.

The second relationship is: the first information does not satisfy the measurement constraint.

In case the first information does not meet the measurement limitation condition, the second information includes the first information and the measurement limitation condition, i.e. the terminal device performs measurement according to the first information and the measurement limitation condition in S202.

In the embodiment of the present application, by the method shown in fig. 2, a network device sends first information indicating parameters of at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals to a terminal, and the terminal device determines second information for measurement according to whether the first information meets a measurement limiting condition, so as to perform measurement; because the second information for the terminal equipment to execute the measurement is associated with the measurement limiting condition, the terminal equipment is further controlled to execute the measurement under the measurement limiting condition, normal scheduling of other data is not influenced while normal measurement of the terminal equipment is realized, and the measurement efficiency and the data transmission efficiency are considered.

In embodiments of the present application, one possible implementation is to pre-configure measurement constraints by the protocol for configuration of measurement constraints. In this configuration mode, the protocol may be preconfigured, so that the terminal device and the network device acquire the measurement limiting condition, or the network device acquires the measurement limiting condition according to the protocol preconfigured, and then sends the measurement limiting condition to the terminal device. Another possible implementation is that the measurement constraints are configured by the network device and sent to the terminal device.

No matter which configuration mode of the measurement limiting condition is adopted, the known measurement limiting conditions of the network equipment and the terminal equipment are the same, so that the measurement interval of the terminal equipment for executing the measurement, which is determined by the network equipment, is the same as the measurement interval of the terminal equipment for actually executing the measurement, and the measurement accuracy is ensured.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the configuration method, and is not limited to the above configuration method.

In an embodiment of the present application, the determining of the relationship between the first information and the measurement constraint may include the following implementation manner:

in a possible implementation, the network device has considered the measurement limitation condition when configuring the coexistence measurement interval, so that the parameters of the configured coexistence measurement interval satisfy the measurement limitation condition. In this case, after receiving the first information indicating the coexistence measurement interval parameter, the terminal device may directly perform measurement according to the indication of the first information without determining whether the first information satisfies the measurement restriction condition; the terminal device may also determine whether the first information satisfies the measurement constraint condition, and measure according to an instruction of the first information after determining that the first information satisfies the measurement constraint condition.

In another possible implementation, the network device does not consider measurement constraints when configuring the coexistence measurement interval. In this case, after receiving the first information indicating the coexistence measurement interval parameter, the terminal device needs to determine whether the first information satisfies the measurement restriction condition, and after determining that the first information satisfies the measurement restriction condition, performs measurement according to the indication of the first information.

Based on the possible implementation manner described above, between S201 and S202, optionally, the terminal device needs to determine whether the first information satisfies the measurement constraint condition. If the first information is determined to meet the measurement limiting condition, measuring based on parameters of at least two groups of coexistence measurement intervals indicated by the first information; and if the first information does not meet the measurement limiting condition, adjusting parameters of at least two groups of coexistence measurement intervals indicated by the first information based on the measurement limiting condition, and measuring based on the adjusted parameters of the measurement intervals meeting the measurement limiting condition.

Optionally, the foregoing adjusting parameters of at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals indicated by the first information based on measurement restriction conditions may be implemented in a manner including:

deleting or deactivating at least one group of parameters of the coexistence measurement interval from at least two groups of parameters of the coexistence measurement interval, so that the parameters of the measurement interval obtained after deletion or deactivation meet the measurement limiting conditions; such as preferentially deleting or deactivating at least one set of measurement intervals of low priority, or deleting or deactivating at least one set of measurement intervals according to other rules; or alternatively, the process may be performed,

Deleting or deactivating part of the measurement intervals among the parameters of at least one set of the parameters of at least two sets of the coexistence measurement intervals, so that the parameters of the measurement intervals obtained after deletion or deactivation satisfy the measurement limiting conditions; for example, measurement intervals that are low in priority may be deleted or deactivated among parameters of the coexistence measurement interval, or measurement intervals that are low in priority may be deleted or deactivated, or some of the measurement intervals may be deleted or deactivated according to other rules; or alternatively

Deleting or deactivating at least one set of parameters of the coexistence measurement interval among the at least two sets of parameters of the coexistence measurement interval, and deleting or deactivating a part of the measurement interval among the at least one set of parameters of the coexistence measurement interval so that the parameters of the measurement interval obtained after deletion or deactivation satisfy the measurement limiting condition.

And the number of the groups of the parameters of the measurement interval obtained after the adjustment is smaller than or equal to the number of the groups of the parameters of at least two groups of coexistence measurement intervals indicated by the first information through the adjustment of the first information. If the number of the adjusted measurement interval parameters is one, the terminal equipment performs measurement according to the group of measurement interval parameters; if the number of the adjusted measurement interval parameter sets is at least two, the at least two measurement interval parameters may be referred to as coexistence measurement interval parameters, and the terminal device performs measurement according to the coexistence measurement interval parameters.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first information may be adjusted in a manner other than the above, and the manner of adjusting the first information is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the parameters of the measurement interval obtained after adjustment may meet the measurement constraint condition.

In the embodiment of the application, the specific expression form of the measurement limiting condition is not limited, and the measurement interval duty ratio used by the terminal equipment for measurement can be effectively controlled, so that the normal transmission and scheduling of other data are not influenced while the measurement of the terminal equipment is ensured, and the measurement efficiency and the transmission efficiency are both considered. In one possible implementation manner, the measurement limiting condition may include a measurement interval ratio being less than or equal to a measurement interval ratio, where the parameter of the measurement interval satisfies the measurement limiting condition may be understood that the measurement interval ratio determined according to the parameter of the measurement interval is less than or equal to the measurement interval ratio corresponding to the measurement limiting condition; further, the measurement limiting conditions include one or more measurement interval ratios, and the measurement interval ratios can correspond to different types of measurement intervals, so that different types of measurement processes are realized, and normal transmission and scheduling of other data are not affected while measurement of the terminal equipment is ensured.

In the following, a measurement interval ratio is configured by taking at least two sets of measurement intervals coexisting as an example, and the measurement interval ratio proposed in the embodiment of the present application is described in connection with different sets of coexisting measurement intervals shown in fig. 4 to 11. As shown in fig. 4 to 11, each of the drawings includes two sets of coexistence measurement intervals MG1 and MG2, and the relationship of the intermediate timings between MG1 and MG2 in the time domain includes complete overlap, partial overlap, and complete non-overlap.

Case one, MG1 and MG2, overlap completely in the time domain.

In this case, the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as:

measurement gap ratio = [ (total MGL length-total overlapping period) within X ]/X formula 1

Alternatively, the measurement gap ratio= [ (ringer MGL) within X ]/X formula 2

In the formula of the measurement interval proportion provided in the embodiment of the present application, the denominator X represents a target time window, for example, X is a least common multiple (least common multiple) or a maximum value of MGRP in a plurality of coexistence measurement intervals (concurrent and multiple gaps), and the numerator in the formula represents a target measurement interval in the target time window, which is not described herein. In the formula 1, (total MGL length-total overlapping period) witin X represents the total length of MGL in the target time window minus the total length of overlap, in the formula 2, (longer MGL) witin X represents longer MGL in the target time window, and in the case that MG1 and MG2 are completely overlapped in the time domain, (total MGL length-total overlapping period) witin X in the formula 1 is the same as (longer MGL) witin X in the formula 2, that is, the target measurement interval in the target time window.

In the examples of fig. 4 and 5, each interval occasion in MG1 completely covers each measurement interval in MG 2. MGRP1, MGL1 in MG1 in the example of fig. 4 are the same as MGRP2, MGL2 in MG 2; MGRP1 in MG1 is the same as MGRP2 in MG2 in the example of fig. 5, but MGL1 of MG1 is larger than MGL2 of MG 2. Therefore, with MGRP1 of MG1 or MGRP2 of MG2 as the target measurement window, and a larger value MGL1 of MG1 and MGL2 of MG2 as the target measurement interval within the target time window, the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as: measurement interval ratio=mgl1/MGRP 1, or measurement interval ratio=mgl1/MGRP 2.

The coexistence measurement interval shown in fig. 6 is similar to that shown in fig. 4, and in the example of fig. 7, each measurement interval in MG2 is completely covered by a partial interval timing in MG1, and MGL1 in MG1 is identical to MGL2 in MG2, except that MGRP1 of MG1 is smaller than MGRP2 of MG 2. Therefore, with a larger value MGRP2 of MGRP1 and MGRP2 as the target measurement window, the target measurement interval within MGRP2 is (mgl1+mgl2) or 2×mgl1, and the measurement interval ratio may be expressed as: measurement interval ratio= (mgl1+mgl2)/MGRP 2, or measurement interval ratio=2xmgl1/MGRP 2.

Case two, MG1 and MG2 partially overlap in the time domain.

In this case, the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as:

In equation 1 (total MGL length-total overlapping period) within X represents the total length of MGL within the target time window minus the total length of overlap.

In the examples of fig. 7 to 7, each interval timing of MG2 is partially covered by each interval timing of MG1, and MGRP1, MGL1 in MG1 and MGRP2, MGL2 in MG2 are the same, but gapoffset in MG1 is different from that of MG 2. Therefore, the measurement interval ratio within the target measurement window (MGRP 1 or MGRP 2) is (mgl1+mgl2—mgl1 and mgl2 overlap length), and the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as: measurement gap ratio= (mgl1+mgl2—overlap length of MGL1 and MGL 2)/MGRP 1.

In the example of fig. 8, each measurement interval in MG2 is partially covered by a partial interval opportunity in MG1, MGRP1 in MG1 is smaller than MGRP2 in MG2, MGL1 in MG1 is larger than MGL2 in MG2, and gapoffset in MG1 is different from that in MG 2. Therefore, with a larger value MGRP2 of MGRP1 and MGRP2 as the target measurement window, the target measurement interval within MGRP2 is (2×mgl1+mgl2-MGL1 and MGL2 overlap length), and the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as: measurement gap ratio= (2×mgl1+mgl2—mgl1 and mgl2 overlap length)/MGRP 2.

Case three, MG1 and MG2, do not overlap at all in the time domain.

In this case, the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as:

measurement interval proportion= (total MGL length within X)/X formula 3

In equation 3, X represents a target time window, and molecule (total MGL length within X) represents a target measurement interval within the target time window X.

In the example of fig. 9, each measurement interval in MG2 does not overlap at all with each interval occasion in MG1, and MGRP1 of MG1 is identical to MGRP2 of MG 2. Therefore, with MGRP1 or MGRP2 as the target measurement window, the target measurement interval within MGRP1 or MGRP2 is (mgl1+mgl2), and the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as: measurement interval ratio= (mgl1+mgl2)/MGRP 1, or measurement interval ratio= (mgl1+mgl2)/MGRP 2.

In the example of fig. 10, each measurement interval in MG2 does not overlap at all with each interval occasion in MG1, and MGRP1 of MG1 is smaller than MGRP2 of MG 2. Therefore, with a larger value MGRP2 of MGRP1 and MGRP2 as the target measurement window, the target measurement interval within MGRP2 is (2×mgl1+mgl2), and the measurement interval ratio can be expressed as: measurement interval ratio= (2×mgl1+mgl2)/MGRP 2.

The measurement constraints in embodiments of the present application may include one or more measurement interval proportions. When the measurement constraint is one measurement interval ratio, the one measurement interval ratio corresponds to all types of measurement intervals, i.e. only one measurement interval ratio is configured for all types of measurement intervals. Taking the parameter indicating at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals as an example, the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals may relate to different types of measurement intervals, but the measurement intervals of different types are not distinguished when the measurement interval proportion is determined according to the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals, so that one measurement interval proportion is determined according to the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals, then the determined measurement interval proportion is compared with one measurement interval proportion indicated by a measurement limiting condition, if the former is smaller than or equal to the latter, the first information is determined to meet the measurement limiting condition (or measurement interval proportion), otherwise, if the former is larger than the latter, the first information is determined to not meet the measurement limiting condition, and then the first information needs to be adjusted.

When the measurement constraint condition is a plurality of measurement interval ratios, different measurement interval ratios correspond to different types of measurement intervals, i.e., different measurement interval ratios are configured for different types of measurement intervals. Taking the parameter of the first information indicating at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals as an example, the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals may relate to different types of measurement intervals, for example, the measurement interval of the per UE and the measurement interval of the per FR, and distinguishing the different types of measurement intervals when determining the measurement interval proportion according to the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals, namely obtaining the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the per UE and the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the per FR; the measurement limiting conditions comprise measurement interval proportion corresponding to the per UE and measurement interval proportion corresponding to the per FR according to different measurement interval types, the determined measurement interval proportion is compared with the measurement interval proportion indicated by the measurement limiting conditions according to different types, the measurement limiting conditions are judged one by one, and for each judgment result, if the measurement limiting conditions are smaller than or equal to the measurement limiting conditions, the first information is determined to meet the measurement limiting conditions (or the measurement interval proportion), for example, the parameters of the per UE measurement interval indicated by the first information meet the measurement limiting conditions, otherwise, the parameters are larger than the measurement limiting conditions, the first information is determined to not meet the measurement limiting conditions, and then the parameters of the per UE measurement interval indicated by the first information are adjusted until the measurement limiting conditions are met. It should be noted that, the parameters of the measurement interval of the per UE to be adjusted are typically at least two sets of coexistence measurement interval parameters. The measurement interval ratios can correspond to different types of measurement intervals, so that different types of measurement processes are realized, and normal transmission and scheduling of other data are not influenced while measurement of terminal equipment is ensured.

Optionally, the division of the type of the measurement interval in the embodiment of the present application may be based on at least one of the following dimensions:

A. use of measurement intervals;

illustratively, the measurement intervals are divided according to their purpose, and may be classified into at least one of the following types of measurement intervals: a measurement interval of a dedicated reference signal (dedicatedly RS), a measurement interval of a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB), a measurement interval of a channel state indication reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS), etc., wherein the dedicatedly RS includes a positioning reference signal (positioning reference signals, PRS).

If the measurement intervals of different types correspond to different measurement interval proportions, the types of the measurement intervals are divided into examples based on the purposes of the measurement intervals, one measurement interval proportion can be respectively configured for the measurement intervals of the SSB, the measurement intervals of the CSI-RS and the measurement intervals of the PRS, and the later dividing dimension is not repeated.

The type of measurement interval;

illustratively, the measurement intervals are divided according to the types of the measurement intervals, and may be divided into Per UE gap and/or Per FR gap, wherein the Per FR gap includes Per FR1 gap and Per FR2 gap.

A service type;

illustratively, the measurement intervals are divided by traffic type, and may be divided into at least one of the following types of measurement intervals: ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) service, enhanced mobile broadband (enhanced Mobile Broadband, eMBB) service, positioning (positioning) service, voice (Voice) service, etc.

The type of measurement object of the measurement interval;

illustratively, the measurement intervals are divided by the type of object of the measurement interval, and may be divided into at least one of the following types of measurement intervals: measurement intervals of same-frequency measurement, measurement intervals of different-system measurement, and the like. For example, inter-system measurements include inter-system (inter-TAT) measurements, LTE measurements NR.

The priority of the measurement interval;

in the embodiment of the application, the types of the measurement intervals can be divided based on different priorities of the measurement intervals. For example, the determination of the priority of the measurement interval may be based on at least one of the following dimensions:

e-1, use of measurement intervals. For example, the measurement interval of the dedicated RS > the measurement interval of the SSB > the measurement interval of the CSI RS (">" indicates a higher priority), and for example, the PRS in the dedicated RS has a higher priority than other dedicated reference signals.

E-2, type of measurement interval;

for example, the priority of the measurement interval of Per UE is higher than the priority of the measurement interval of Per FR, wherein the priority of the measurement interval of Per FR1 is the same as the priority of the measurement interval of Per FR.

E-3, service type;

for example Voice, URLLC, eMBB, is higher than the measurement interval priorities of other traffic types.

E-4, measuring the type of the measuring object of the interval;

the setting of the priority level between the measurement objects of different types of measurement intervals depends on the network side, such as on what cells and/or frequency points the load is balanced to. For example, the measurement intervals of the e.g. frequency measurements have a higher priority than the measurement intervals of the inter-frequency measurements, or vice versa.

E-5, whether the measurement interval is activated;

for example, the priority of the activated measurement interval is higher than the priority of the non-activated measurement interval.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned dividing dimensions a to E for the type of the measurement interval may be considered alone or in combination. When considered in combination, the type of measurement interval is divided based on two or more dimensions, and the dimensions may be arbitrarily combined based on practical situations in the embodiment of the present application, which is not limited herein. The above-mentioned dimension of division of the type of the measurement interval and the division of the priority of the measurement interval are examples in the embodiment of the present application, and specific division manners in the embodiment of the present application include, but are not limited to, this.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement interval proportion may be preconfigured by a protocol or configured by a network device to a terminal. In order to ensure that the normal transmission and scheduling of other data are not affected while the terminal equipment normally performs measurement, the measurement efficiency and the data transmission efficiency are considered, and the measurement interval proportion is configured in association with at least one of the following information:

A. selecting a target measurement interval;

the measurement interval ratio is a ratio of the target measurement interval in the target time window, and the longer the target measurement interval length is, the larger the measurement interval ratio is. Thus, the selection of the target measurement interval affects the measurement interval ratio.

Illustratively, the selection of the target measurement interval may be based on at least one of the following dimensions:

a-1, whether a preconfigured measurement interval is selected;

for example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval may include a measurement interval (abbreviated as a preconfigured interval) preconfigured within the coexistence measurement interval, excluding an old interval (legacy gap), or may include all measurement intervals within the coexistence measurement interval, with no distinction made between the preconfigured measurement interval and the legacy gap; in contrast, the sum of the lengths of the target measurement intervals selected by the latter is greater than the sum of the lengths of the target measurement intervals selected by the former, and the measurement interval ratio configured by the former is greater than the measurement interval ratio configured by the latter under the same conditions.

A2, whether an unactivated measurement interval in the preconfigured measurement intervals is selected or not;

for example, in configuring the measurement interval proportion, the selected target measurement interval may include only the activated measurement interval among the measurement intervals preconfigured within the coexistence measurement interval, excluding the unactivated measurement interval; alternatively, it is not differentiated whether or not a measurement interval of the preconfigured measurement intervals is activated, i.e. the selected target measurement interval comprises all measurement intervals of the preconfigured measurement intervals within the coexistence measurement interval.

Illustratively, whether the measurement interval is activated may be indicated by one of downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), RRC, bandwidth part switch (Bandwidth Part switch, BWP switch), with on bit indicating that the measurement interval is activated and off bit indicating that the measurement interval is not activated (or referred to as deactivated). The indication mode of the activated/deactivated measurement interval is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

A-3, the type of the measurement interval;

for example, the types of measurement intervals may be classified into Per UE gap and/or Per FR gap, wherein Per FR gap includes Per FR1gap and Per FR2 gap. For example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval may include only Per UE gap or Per FR gap within the coexistence measurement interval, or the selected target measurement interval may include all measurement intervals within the coexistence measurement interval, i.e., without distinguishing the types of measurement intervals.

A-4, use of measurement intervals;

illustratively, the use of measurement intervals can be divided into: a measurement interval of a dedicated reference signal (dedicatedly RS), a measurement interval of a synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB), a measurement interval of a channel state indication reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS), etc., wherein the dedicatedly RS includes a positioning reference signal (positioning reference signals, PRS). For example, in configuring the measurement interval proportion of the scheduled RS, the selected target measurement interval may include measurement intervals of dedicated reference signals other than the measurement interval of PRS within the coexistence measurement interval, or the selected target measurement interval may include measurement intervals of all dedicated reference signals within the coexistence measurement interval. For another example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval may distinguish between SSB and CSI-RS, and the measurement interval ratio may be configured as the selected target measurement interval, respectively.

A-5, the type of the measuring object of the measuring interval;

for example, the measurement object type of the measurement interval may be classified into a measurement interval of the same frequency measurement, a measurement interval of the different system measurement, and the like. For example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval may include some or all of measurement intervals of co-frequency, inter-system measurements within the coexistence measurement interval.

And A-6, measuring the priority of the interval.

For example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval may include a measurement interval satisfying a certain priority within the coexistence measurement interval, or include a measurement interval of all priorities within the coexistence measurement interval.

It should be noted that, the dimensions A1 to A6 based on which the target measurement interval is selected may be considered alone or in combination. When considered in combination, the target measurement interval is selected based on two or more dimensions, and any combination of the dimensions may be performed based on practical situations in the embodiments of the present application, which is not limited herein.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the selection of the target measurement interval in configuring the measurement interval ratio may be combined with the above division of the measurement interval type. When a plurality of measurement interval ratios are configured, different measurement interval ratios correspond to different types of measurement intervals, and when a measurement interval ratio corresponding to one type of measurement interval is configured, the measurement interval of that type can be selected as a target measurement interval. For example, when the measurement interval ratio corresponding to the Per UE gap is configured, the Per UE gap within the coexistence measurement interval may be selected as the target measurement interval.

And selecting a target time window.

The measurement interval ratio is a ratio of the target measurement interval in the target time window, and the smaller the length of the target time window, the larger the measurement interval ratio. Thus, the selection of the target time window affects the measurement interval ratio.

Illustratively, the selection of the target measurement window may be based on at least one of the following dimensions:

b1, at least one fixed time window;

for example, in configuring the measurement interval ratio, the selected target measurement interval window may be at least one fixed time window; for example, the length of the at least one fixed time window may be a fixed time length (e.g., 160 ms), or the network may flexibly configure a plurality of time lengths, and the length of the at least one fixed time window may be a part or all of the length thereof.

B-2, the least common multiple or maximum of MGRP for different sets of coexistence measurement intervals;

as described above, in the measurement interval ratio of the plurality of sets of coexistence measurement intervals shown in fig. 4 to 10, the target measurement window may be the MGRP of any one set of measurement intervals in the case where MGRPs of different sets of coexistence measurement intervals are the same, and the target measurement window may be the least common multiple or the maximum value of the MGRPs of the plurality of sets of coexistence measurement intervals in the case where MGRPs of different sets of coexistence measurement intervals are different.

B. Default measurement interval ratio;

for example, the measurement interval ratio predefined according to the protocol or configured by the network device may be a default measurement interval ratio; the default measurement interval ratio may be one measurement interval ratio corresponding to all types of measurement intervals, for example, 10% or 20% or 40%, etc., or may be a plurality of measurement interval ratios corresponding to different types of measurement intervals, respectively. The default measurement interval may be sent to the terminal device, for example, via RRC.

C. Terminal capability;

for example, the network device may configure the measurement interval ratio according to the terminal capability reported by the terminal device. For example, the maximum measurement interval ratio supported by the terminal device reported by the network device may be 15%, and the measurement interval ratio configured by the network device for the terminal device may be a value less than or equal to 15%, and/or the parameters of the at least two sets of coexistence measurement intervals configured by the network device for the terminal device may be considered to be less than or equal to the maximum measurement interval ratio supported by the terminal device.

D. A service type;

for example, different measurement interval proportions may be configured for different service types of the terminal device; for example, URLLC, eMBB, positioning corresponds to measurement intervals of 10%, 20% and 40%, respectively.

E. Overlap between measurement intervals in different sets of coexistence measurement intervals;

for example, when configuring the measurement interval ratio, the overlapping situation between measurement intervals in different sets of coexistence measurement intervals may affect the selection of the target measurement interval and the target window, and thus affect the measurement interval ratio, for example, the measurement interval ratio of multiple sets of coexistence measurement intervals shown in fig. 4 to 10 described above, which is not described herein.

F. Distribution of different types of measurement intervals in the same group of coexistence measurement intervals;

for example, when configuring the measurement interval ratio, the distribution of different types of measurement intervals in the same set of coexistence measurement intervals may affect the selection of a certain type of target measurement interval, and thus affect the measurement interval ratio corresponding to the type of measurement interval, without considering other factors.

In MG1 and MG2 shown in fig. 11, MGRP1 of MG1 includes 4 MGLs 1, which are same-frequency MGL1, different-frequency MGL1, same-frequency MGL1, and MGRP2 of MG2 includes 4 MGLs 2, which are same-frequency MGL2, different-frequency MGL2, and same-frequency MGL2, respectively; each interval time in MG1 completely covers each measurement interval in MG2, and MGL1 and MGRP1 of MG1 are the same as MGL2 and MGRP2 in MG 2. Therefore, the target window is MGRP1 or MGRP2, the target measurement interval of the same-frequency measurement interval in the target window is 3×mgl1, the target measurement interval of the inter-frequency measurement interval in the target window is 2×mgl2, the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the same-frequency measurement interval=3×mgl1/MGRP1, the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the inter-frequency measurement interval=2×mgl2/MGRP1, and the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the inter-frequency measurement interval=1—the measurement interval proportion corresponding to the same-frequency measurement interval.

It should be noted that the above dimensions may be used alone or in combination to affect the measurement interval ratio, and in embodiments of the present application, the above dimensions may be arbitrarily combined based on practical situations, which is not limited herein. The dimensions described above that affect the measurement gap ratio are merely examples provided by embodiments of the present application, including but not limited to.

In the embodiment of the application, the network equipment determines second information for measurement according to whether the first information meets the measurement limiting condition or not by sending the first information indicating the parameters of at least two groups of coexistence measurement intervals to the terminal, so as to further perform measurement; because the second information for the terminal equipment to execute the measurement is associated with the measurement limiting condition, the terminal equipment executes the measurement under the control of the measurement limiting condition, so that the normal transmission and the scheduling of other data are not influenced while the measurement of the terminal equipment is ensured in the measurement process, and the measurement efficiency and the transmission efficiency are both considered. Further, the measurement limiting conditions include one or more measurement interval ratios, and the measurement interval ratios can correspond to different types of measurement intervals, so that different types of measurement processes are realized, and normal transmission and scheduling of other data are not affected while measurement of the terminal equipment is ensured.
